Nu/alt metal vets Kittie have announced their first album in 13 years, Fire, due June 21 via Sumerian Records and available on limited “orange in red” vinyl in the BV shop. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Code Orange, etc), it features recent singles “Eyes Wide Open” and “We Are Shadows,” as well as the just-released “Vultures,” a tight trio of singles that find the band’s heavy side and catchy side both in fine form.
“10 years ago, if someone would have told us that we would be releasing new Kittie music in 2024, we’d have dismissed them right away,” says vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander. “It feels like something deeper than fate that’s brought us together again, allowing us to create something fearless and magical for you. We’ve worked incredibly hard over the past year, and surrounded ourselves with the ultimate dream team to make this album a reality. We cannot wait for you to lose yourselves in the passion and strength of Fire.”
“‘Vultures’ is a bold musical declaration, signaling our new beginnings as a band,” Morgan continues. “‘Vultures’ is a warning to those with hidden agendas, who thrive on deception. It’s a proclamation of breaking free of the chains of exploitation and a reckoning for those who pick at the bones of those who suffer in silence.” The new song comes with a video featuring footage of Kittie’s recent Sick New World performance, and you can check that out below.
Kittie also have tour dates coming up, including NYC’s Palladium Times Square on July 19 with Unearth, Within The Ruins, and Stabbing. UPDATE: It’s been moved to Warsaw on July 19. All dates are listed below.
